Hopefully your computer/motherboard is modern enough to take an AGP card at least (don't think an 845g chipset will take anything later, and hopefully you have an AGP slot). Your game and card speed will also be limited by your CPU/FSB speed so ultimately it's probably upgrade time. :)


i will try to upgrade the driver, anyone know where i can do this?
Tell us what motherboard brand/model (or computer brand/model) and operating system, and we'll see what we can find. You may find you have a driver cd with a full driver.

849788 2010-01-19 06:07:00 It's an Intel 82845G.

The latest driver will be available from Intel.

Whoever made the motherboard will have drivers but they will probably be a million years out of date.

Forget drivers.

The integrated graphics WILL NOT cope with this game.

Games require Graphics Cards. Decent ones.

849790 2010-01-20 00:34:00 i have no idea how the cards transfer over to even know what my equivalent is in the other types of cards, i will try to upgrade the driver, anyone know where i can do this?

There is no equivalent, Intel integrated graphics are purely for desktop / workstation use and very basic gaming. It's like trying to enter an F1 race with a BMX.

This is what I said as well, PCTEK :annoyed:
